Ok... so these kids spend all their free time tracking down girl gamers and harassing them specifically because they are girl gamers. ShockedSad


But why? Can some kind neuro-typical explain to me why they do this? What is their logic (if any) behind it?

my response may be slightly offensive. and a little bit childish
but i think its just that some people have no life outside gaming. and if they meet someone of the other s*x (i guess i have to censor that because of the way EVE forum work) that might be a chance to show off the only thing they are good at.
but because of these types of people have very little experience in how to behave during these situations. it ends in harassment.

thats my guess

1. I'm guessing that right before he made this video, that pretty girl who sits next to him in math class turned down his invitation to the prom.

2. When he achieves his goal of getting "inside the mind of a girl," he will realize he needs to post a second video with his abject apology to all women everywhere.

3. Closing the video by wishing us all a special blessing on the anniversary of the Virgin Mary giving birth was a nice touch.

Actually, sounds more like hunting for girls that cheaply (cleavage shot, more screen for the girl than the game, etc) capitalize on the fact they are girls and making an out-of-game profit (with little or no actual game expertise required or shown) via twitch TV donates and such things because of it.
And they're harassing them ingame (which is as good or bad as harassing ANYBODY ELSE inside the game), not out of game (which would be universally bad).

Basically, they're gankng n00bs who happen to be girls engaging in making an extra buck via low quality vaguely erotic stuff with a MMO excuse backdrop.
As far as target selection goes, I've heard far worse.
Not that I approve of any of it, but there's nothing fundamentally despicable about it.

I am somewhat swayed by your argument, however the ends should not justify the means should they?
The REASON why he is doing this is anything but noble. Even if the people deserve it according to some of us.

The reasons for doing something unpleasant to anybody that didn't break any laws are hardly ever noble.
Yet many people do it occasionally. And they probably think it's at least a smidgen noble-adjacent when they do it.
I bet you have too, if you think really hard about it. Any of us probably has, at least once.
I guess we're guilty of being human, eh ?

People can justify anything to themselves. Terrible people are the best at it.

Objectively they're still assholes, though. The universe knows what they've done.

Oh, wait. You wanted neuro-typical responses... I'll show myself out.

What has me worried is how easily you fell for his trolling. This is logical fallacy at its best.

Someone goes and says something utterly stupid and insane and people believe him or her. Classy correlative fallacies.

Example: The reason that black people always die first in movies is that they are inferior to us superior aryan folk.

Well, Akita T explains it pretty well.

But this guy tend to put all girls into that box, which I think is stupid. A majority of girls prefer to hide their gender (or just make it less known) because of all the harassment they get. What he is targeting is just the visible and attention demanding minorty.

Same thing serial killers say. Even they see themselves as the good guys. And to them the people they kill deserve it, for 'dressing like whores' or whatever.

This guy is about 10 years away from that. Lol

I didn't defend him. I just pointed out that even if it was a "good course" it was still stupid since he thinks that all girls are like that.

If some guys fall for the cheap tricks of those girls, its their own damn fault.

You know, this is funny, because I was just thinking about how nullsec dwellers complain about too many people in high sec, while they kill everything that is not blue. Meanwhile, to get out to null, you have to join into organizations that are all blued to each other.


I see the parallel here: the neckbeards probably comprise the most horrible examples of men you could ever find. Yet it's often wondered: "Why is the gaming world such a sausage convention?"

Can I have a big group DUH! ?


It kind of makes me want civilization to destroy itself, because there won't be any neckbeards, but the neckbeards are indication that this conclusion is already in effect.

Meanwhile, it's not just the gaming world having this neckbeard scourge, check this out.
